About Arab

Arab people, also known as Arabs (Arabic: Ã˜Â¹Ã˜Â±Ã˜Â¨Ã¢Â€ÂŽ, ÃŠÂ¿arab) and Arabians, are a panethnic group[16] primarily inhabiting Western Asia and North Africa. They are identified as such on one or more of genealogical, linguistic, or cultural grounds,[17] with tribal affiliations, and intra-tribal relationships playing an important part of Arab identity.[18] Most however have direct or partial ancestral relation to the nomadic indigenous inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula and the Syrian desert, known as Qahtanite and Adnanite Arabs. After the genesis of Islam in the mid-7th century, most Arabs have been Muslim,[19] spreading the Arab people, Arab language and culture with the Islamic conquests as far as North Africa and Central Asia.
